USA Swimming has announced that the 2025 USA Swimming Golden Goggle Awards will take place in Denver, Colorado, from September 26–28, marking the first time the event will be held in the Mile High City.
This represents a significant departure from tradition, as 18 of the previous 21 ceremonies were hosted in either New York or California since the awards began in 2004. Each of those states has hosted nine events, with only three exceptions: the virtual event in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Miami in 2021, and Indianapolis in 2024.
